Incography (modern copy) has held an important place in the vast pantheon of contemporary printmaking for more than a decade now, still remaining an innovative and attractive investment. In addition to its investment, interior and aesthetic qualities, the collector dimension of inkography is a new opening in the design space and the art market.
So why printmaking? Inkography makes it possible to purchase original signed prints by the most outstanding Polish artists at attractive prices. Recently, we have seen an increase in interest in prints at auctions and in galleries. Inkography is becoming an increasing choice of investors and designers.
Inkography has a format of 393 x 482 mm.
Pieter Goos' nautical atlases were among the best printed at the time, and his overall world map is of equally good quality. Two expertly engraved hemispheres mimic the work of Visscher and Blaeu. A host of birds are shown soaring into the dazzling sun. Below, a set of allegorical figures depicting the four seasons along with various other figures. One of the most decorative world maps to appear in a Dutch atlas.
The map has become quite rare on the market over the past decade. Arranged on a double sheet, as is almost always the case with this map.
